Full-Time Magister: I can control you to death.

Chapter 72 Bo City, Light Rain

Mo Fan never expected that, because of his momentary impulse, his daily life would become a monotonous routine of "home-school-sewer" for the next few days.

I always order the cheapest food when I eat out, for no other reason than that the sewers smell so bad that I feel bad if I throw up.

He never imagined that there was such a complex and intricate demon paradise beneath Bo City.

The giant-eyed blood rats here are ridiculously strong. They encountered advanced-stage servants several times, and even once, the two of them encountered a warrior-level blood-patterned giant rat.

—Then he was slashed by Xu Fang.

After staying there for a while, even Mo Fan noticed that something was wrong.

"The Giant-Eyed Blood Rat's advancement speed is too fast, even though the city's monster-hunting team cleans them up regularly." Mo Fan frowned as he looked at the charred corpse in front of him.

"Look this way."

Xu Fang pointed in another direction, and Mo Fan turned his head and found a wall that had been dug out.

On the ground, there was a puddle of water covered with various hairs, excrement, and tangled, drooping insects, clearly a frequent haunt of the giant-eyed rats.

Xu Fang said, "I found similar watermarks at every gathering point of the Giant-Eyed Blood Rat. Do you remember what our Bo City is famous for?"

"You mean... the Sacred Spring?"

Mo Fan stared at the water stains in astonishment: "Impossible!"

Bocheng has a long history, dating back to the Qin Dynasty or even earlier, and the Disheng Spring has been preserved since then.

Bo City, for example, lacks both locational advantages and magical talent, and its economy is in dire straits. The stable government-funded jobs can only attract novice light magic mages like Xue Musheng.

How can such a desolate place be somewhat famous in the South?

It's all because of the Holy Spring!

Even after a thousand years and nearing depletion, it can still achieve the formidable effect of one hour inside being equivalent to three full days outside!

It's no exaggeration to say that Dishengquan is the apple of everyone's eye in Bocheng!

"Impossible, absolutely impossible!" Mo Fan denied. "The Earthly Sacred Spring is such a crucial place; the Magic Association and the military would have paid far more attention to it than we have. If there were any problems, they would have discovered them long ago!"

Xu Fang flicked his finger, and the water stains on the ground froze into small ice cubes.

After arranging the ice, Xu Fang's expression was intriguing: "Of course, problems can be discovered, but what if the person who discovers the problem is the one with the problem?"

"Are you saying there's a mole inside!?"

"I don't want to doubt it, but I have to," Xu Fang said. "I will send the water for testing and report it to the Air Force Regiment Commander. This is a matter of great importance and cannot be taken lightly!"

Mo Fan nodded silently.

"Oh, right, here you go." Xu Fang took out a few scrolls and handed them to Mo Fan.

Mo Fan was shocked: "Holy crap! A fire-element star chart book, and it even has a lightning-element one?"

"You've got good taste, kid. You've been crawling through the sewers with me these past few days, getting surrounded by demons so many times. Consider this a reward for your hard work," Xu Fang said with a smile.

Mo Fan shook his head: "I can't accept it. Everyone has a responsibility to fight demons."

"You have guts! Then give it back to me."

"...this, that."

Mo Fan's face contorted in frustration. Xu Fang said impatiently, "Stop pretending! Just take it. I didn't give it to you for free. Remember, you owe me a favor today, and you'll have to pay me back with interest later!"

"You should have said so earlier! Then I wouldn't have been so polite!"

Mo Fan instantly perked up: "From now on, if anyone messes with you, just say the word. If I, Mo Fan, don't beat them to a pulp, then they've done their job!"

Mo Fan really wanted the Book of Star Charts, not to deal with Yu Ang, that little brat wasn't worth going to such lengths for.

The main reason is that his long experience as a mage hunter tells him that Bo City is currently very strange and oppressive. Having multiple trump cards for self-defense is always beneficial!

As for owing Xu Fang a favor?

It's not like I'm not going to pay it back! Isn't brotherhood all about you owing me and me owing you, going back and forth to build a close relationship?

······

Emerging from the sewer, Xu Fang headed straight for Xuefeng Mountain without even taking a shower.

Zhan Kong happened to be there too, and he was discussing the size of the chicken legs in the cafeteria with a group of his trusted subordinates.

As soon as Xu Fang entered, Zhan Kong chuckled, but before he could greet him, the pungent smell made his stomach churn: "Holy crap, did you fall into the sewer?"

The other subordinates were all former colleagues of Xu Fang's parents. They were heartbroken to see Xu Fang in such a disheveled state and made arrangements to give him a bath and change his clothes.

"Stop, stop, stop, uncles and aunts, listen to me."

Xu Fang stopped the crowd from getting carried away with their family sentiments and took out a map.

"Oh, isn't this the map Lin Yuxin drew?" someone who knew the person said. "You didn't go to do that mission, did you?"

"That Lin Yun'er was a pitiful little girl; she died at such a young age."

"Who can argue with that..."

Xu Fang interrupted everyone's conversation and spread the map on the table. Only then did everyone notice that there were many red circles on the map.

Zhan Kong asked in confusion, "What are you doing...?"

"These are the habitats of giant-eyed blood rats with advanced strength or above." Xu Fang took out the block of ice. "And there were water stains like this at the scene."

Zhan Kong stared intently at the map: "These places..."

His expression immediately turned serious: "Quickly! Send this water for testing, urgently, I need the results now!"

The subordinates dared not delay and immediately went to do it.

"Who knows about this?" Zhan Kong asked seriously.

"Me and Mo Fan, we found out by chance while we were on a mission," Xu Fang said.

"Tell him to keep his mouth shut and not tell anyone about this! Also, from now on, you're no longer responsible for this task; we'll take over entirely!"

Zhan Kong cursed, "Damn it, there are rats in our team! Once I find you all, I'll chop your dicks off and feed them to the wolves!"

Everyone: "..."

I can picture it now.

The intelligence was handed over to Zhan Kong, and Xu Fang's mission was considered complete.

Without being able to "predict the future," he has done everything he could; the rest is up to fate.

Back at the hotel, I took a long, hot shower.

Jiang Shaoxu from the next room knocked and came in, leaning against the doorframe, and said with a hint of annoyance, "Hey, I'm a guest, for goodness' sake. Haven't you been paying any attention to me these past few days?"

Having traveled across most of China to your city, instead of spending every day eating and shopping together, you haven't even shown your face?

"Weren't you getting along really well with Xinxia?"

"How can that be the same!" Jiang Shaoxu rolled her eyes, completely speechless.

"I've been a bit busy these past few days, don't worry about it," Xu Fang smiled. "Tomorrow is the magic duel, I've booked you a night flight, you can go back after watching the match."

"Why do you keep bringing this up? Are you trying to kick me out?" Jiang Shaoxu was even more annoyed.

"No, it's because I'm afraid the Grand Commander will come to my house. He's always worried that I'll ruin you."

"Pfft!" Jiang Shaoxu chuckled, her eyes darting around. "But how could he know that he's just meddling in other people's business, while Xu Datiancai is a true gentleman?"

Xu Fang raised an eyebrow: "What, want to experience my beastly side?"

He started pulling at his bath towel, and Jiang Shaoxu giggled, turned and ran away: "Trying to take advantage of me? Aren't you afraid of breaking your teeth!"

Normally, Xu Fang would be quite willing to play these ambiguous little games with Jiang Shaoxu.

However, Xu Fang wasn't in the mood for it today, so he decided to do it next time!

While Xu Fang and Jiang Shaoxu were talking, Mo Fan and Mu Ningxue were also having a conversation on a rooftop.

Mu Ningxue tried to persuade Mo Fan to give up the competition with Yu Ang, but after what happened during the day, Yu Ang was no big deal to Mo Fan.

His nonchalant attitude infuriated Miss Mu, who felt like she was talking to a brick wall, and she stormed off.

······

Tonight, Bocheng will experience light rain turning cloudy.

Thanks to [Book Friend 2022···] for the 100-point reward! Bro, are you sure you don't want to come up with a cool nickname?
